The statement said the center interviewed employees and reviewed its phone and electronic records.

The Howard Center said Steven Bourgoin, 36, of Williston, was never a patient of the treatment facility.

The statement said the center was never "contacted to evaluate, assess, or screen" Bourgoin the morning before the fatal crash on I-89.

Bourgoin "was not referred to (the) Howard Center by any organization," the statement said.

Investigators previously said in a sworn affidavit that Bourgoin visited the UVM Medical Center emergency room three times before the fatal crash, saw a physician’s assistant and someone called the Howard Center.

State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan said last Friday that it was unclear whether the Howard Center had been called.

The Howard Center said it was fully cooperating with the police investigation into the crash.

Bourgoin was still being treated for injuries he suffered in the crash. He was arraigned last Friday at the hospital and ordered held without bail.

He faces five counts of second-degree murder. A judge has also ordered a competency evaluation to determine if Bourgoin understands the charges against him.
